"Hands-On" PLCs: Programming and Applications

NOTE: Course content is based on Allen-Bradley PLCs, but every effort is made to present the course in a Generic manner, such that course content will apply to users of all PLCs.

Length Of Course
3 Days. Classes begin promptly at 8:00 a.m. and continue until 4:00 p.m. A lunch break is from 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m.

Seminar Purpose
The purpose of this seminar is to provide you with the skills needed to organize, plan, write, enter, test, and document SLC500™ programs using the basic programming instructions and RSLogix™ software. You will learn to use specific advanced instructions. You will learn to edit, upload, download, save, and restore as well as program specific ladder logic instructions. The instructor will demonstrate the use of bit-level, timer, counter, conversion, math, comparison, data manipulation, program control, and diagnostic instructions in detail, then provide realistic situations that allow you to practice using these instructions.

Frequent hands-on practice is provided using an actual SLC500™ system workstation.

Seminar Objectives
Upon completion of this seminar, you will be able to produce SLC500™ programs using RSLogix500™ software by performing these actions:
Write and edit programs
Enter and test programs
Document and maintain programs
